Beverly Hills : 2 Teacher Contract Sessions Set

The Beverly Hills Teachers Assn. and the Board of Education have scheduled two bargaining sessions Wednesday and Feb. 24. Negotiations over a new contract have been stalled since November. Both sides agreed to resume talks after the release of an independent fact finder's report last week. The report recommended the approval of a three-year contract with a 6.3% salary increase for teachers and the extension of high school class periods to 50 minutes.
